QUOTE(Glau @ Dec 3 2009, 11:31 AM) hi..i am a city driver, the car is good no problems. but if comparing specifications for the 89k that i paid to the forte 1.6 at 85k, the forte has much better specs at a lower price too..... forte 1.6SX only rm81800 la. forte definitely worth for your bucks (if you dont mind on 2nd value) but if the car selling like hot cakes, no worry on 2nd value arrr.. vios maybe 2nd value is higher now, but u dunno in 4 or 5 years time. so up to u actually. |

QUOTE(lwkong @ Dec 3 2009, 04:14 PM) = =" where still have CBU. hahha. coz we already pre-book before launching.. of coz over 1k alreadySA said the first day already over 1k booking. do you research first TS before commit to any car. QUOTE(deeplyheartbroken @ Dec 3 2009, 04:23 PM) Power about the same, torque wise Forte's Gamma 1.6 engine slightly better. ya. forte less HP but more Torque. CPS' figure you got there is HP, Forte's figure there is PS. So you got a wrong comparison. QUOTE(stereokumonomu @ Dec 3 2009, 04:37 PM) kia forte.. ts, really u should make a poll.. there already one poll before.. go figurehttp://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1242121 |

QUOTE(soradidi @ Dec 3 2009, 06:20 PM) erm, so basically after 2005 the gear box is quite fine? 23k is a darm big number=.='', dun wan regret if buy it. as my parents very hate kia haiz i have no choice, if no i sure go for forte but not my money so i have no choice=.=(they r very rigid!) they call me decide only toyota vios or honda city, just go to the showhouse and compare this 2 feel like i have more chance going for honda city XD. But abt the gear box issue izit still common in now(after 2005)? that gear box prob is for 7 speed one right?thanks guys for the responed  according to Kia SA, that city gearbox created based on auto gearbox (then add shiftronic) then prone to problem. for forte, the gearbox created based on manual gearbox (then add shiftronic). 2nd shift damn long you can achieve 100KM ++ before redline, and the RPM is 6K before redline. so, up to everybody. haha recent city should be okay. need to wait 2 or 3 years more before we can know any problem. |

ya lor.. vios is B segment car.. Forte is C segment car..
so you can compare between Forte and Civic. I took 2.0 Forte price and 2.0 Civic price okay? forte cost you rm93K whereby civic cost you rm110K if you afraid of second value, have you consider how much Japs car (civic) conned you? thats almost 20K! interior wise and gadget, forte win hands down. only drawback is the 4 speed gear box for malaysian market. you already lose 20K for the much 2nd value issue if you buy civic instead of forte. haha |

cybermasta, just to ask. did you experience all the good service from only one SC or from different SC?
if only from one SC please don't generalize it to all other SC. Same to nazakia, people tend to generalize all nazakia SC is worst but its only few that tainted the nazakia image. all knows that the service experience is differ from one SC to one SC even though its from the same company. |

another thing worth to mention is (although it might off topic) but the safety features in forte (ESC, TCS, ABS, BAS) did save 2 forte owner's life (malaysia)

QUOTE(omnimech @ Mar 8 2010, 10:17 AM) I just test drove it this weekend before making my decision on the civic . there's no emblem that differentiate between 1.6 and 2.0I may have driven the 1.6 SX instead, but I was pretty sure it was the 2.0 SX . Remotely remember seeing 2.0 at the back, but like I said, may be wrong. Why I say this, is because I walked into the naza dealer ship and there was a car outside. I asked if I could test drive it and was on my way. The SA was singing praises about it. But I wasnt really enjoying it. if you sit on leather seat and the steering got cruise control then its 2.0 some branch (so far only 1 branch) can give you the test drive but most of them don't (only as display unit) |
